As the evenings get lighter for our Northern Hemisphere friends, it's that time of the year again to ask what I could be doing to succeed in English A. The simple answer: subscribe to this site!

If you are an IB1 student, your classes will have doubtless turned their explicit attentions to global issues, to Individual Oral preparation, and perhaps even to rehearsing for the real thing. If this is the case - or even if it isn't yet - then I would recommend wading through our extensive guidelines to the Individual Oral, to Individual Oral - Establishing a Global Issue, to Individual Oral - Structure Ideas, and to Individual Oral - To mock, or not to mock?.

If you are an IB2 student, you are in the final furlong of preparation. Don't miss the crucial pages on P1 - Examination Questions, P2 - Examination Questions - these have distilled guides to success in those examinations as well as a range of student exemplars (real exam papers with real examiners' comments narrated and explained). 

These resources are key to your success on April 24th and April 25th. Good luck, and happy studying.
